Much debate about this , concensus about 2 to 1 within the people I fish with is that it makes little or no difference. If pike were taken away from all the other environmental stimuli that they are subject to, they may well be effected to a more obvious extent, but when you consider; rainfall, outwash and oxygenation, algae levels or clear water, water quality, frosts, weather conditions, depth, water temperature, salt tides and salinity, area, amount of cover, which baits seem to work, which techniques seem to work, which rivers/broads/lakes/pits are fishing. It kind of makes the chance of the moon and it's phases being a controlling factor seems rather more insignificant. we've decided to keep track of catches, and the only thing it's proved so far is that there are too many variables, You tend to catch pike if you know where they might be and if they are hungry.

wasn't the research that this came from something to do with molluscs kept in darkness in a laboratory?
